Loaded, first published by IPC in 1994, is the oldest British "lads' mag" - "For men who should know better". It was founded by James Brown, a former deputy editor of the music weekly New Musical Express. In its early days, the magazine's readership was once memorably described as "50% Sun readers and 50% Guardian readers".

Loaded is a top-down shooting game that was developed by Gremlin Interactive. Released in 1996 on both the Sony Playstation and Sega Saturn, the game received mixed reviews, and is notorious for its violence and gore. Loaded also spawned a sequel, "Re-Loaded", which was released on the Sony Playstation and PC at the end of 1996.

In car audio, this term is used to describe a subwoofer/enclosure combination. A subwoofer cabinet without a subwoofer is said to be unloaded, and a cabinet with a subwoofer included is referred to as loaded.
